Description

Thank you for this. I was actually busy implementing my own solution similar to this, but including Redux. Anyway, curious to know how you test components that require user interaction? An example would be onClick. I looked at shallowRender, but then you have to navigate to your children and call the method manually. Not ideal and not elegant.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research strategies for simulating user interactions in React tests, such as using React Testing Library's fireEvent or userEvent, or Enzyme's simulate. Focus on best practices for testing onClick handlers.
